Paperback Release of Spare Set to Coincide with King Charles' Major Tour
The upcoming release of the paperback edition of Prince Harry's bestselling memoir, Spare, is raising eyebrows due to its timing. The new edition is scheduled to launch in October, coinciding with King Charles and Queen Camilla's highly anticipated tour of Australia and Samoa, marking the monarch's first official tour since revealing his cancer diagnosis.
Royal observers are expressing concern that the release could overshadow the royal couple's significant visit, which is centered around the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Samoa. With Spare having set a Guinness World Record for the fastest-selling non-fiction book, its re-release could divert attention from the tour's important diplomatic and cultural objectives.
On a recent episode of The Royal Record podcast, GB News Royal Correspondent Cameron Walker and Digital Royal Editor Svar Nanan-Sen discussed the potential implications of Harry’s latest move. Walker highlighted the "red flag" timing of the paperback release, noting that it falls right in the middle of CHOGM, where King Charles is expected to play a prominent role.
